SGA OKs resolution against tuition increase

 

By Nlcole Heumphreus
Staff Writer

The Student Government Associ-
ation Senate last night passed a res-
olution against the tuition increases
proposed by the state Council on
Higher Education.

The resolution said the possible
8180 increase will “decrease access
to higher education for Kentucky
residents.“

Senator at Large Misty Weaver,
who co-sponsored the resolution,
said students need to speak up if
they oppose the increase.

“The president (of the council)
thought most people were in sup-
port of the increase," Weaver said.
“Without students coming out
against the (increase), he will con-
tinue to believe people are in sup-
port."

Tuition for Kentucky’s public
universities is set by the council
every two years. The rate had at-
ready been established t'or the I‘M}.
04 school year. but the council's
new proposal would raise the rate It]
the middle of the current biennium.

Senate Pro Temp and presidential
candidate Jeremy Bates, who also

We're coming up with other options to help
students, just in case (the increase) passes. We
suggest that a cap be put on the increase, that
scholarships and financial aid be adjusted and
that the money be used for the students.

— Pete November,

Student Government Association president

 

co-sponsored the resolution, said it
was not right for the council to
“change the rules (for increasing
tuition) in the middle of the game.”

Weaver agreed: “(The council)
can't increase tuition just before the
199394 year begins, and it can’t
assume that every student’s parents
are paying for their education."

Weaver said one student told her
that the increase would mean the
difference between paying bills and
buying books.

SGA President l’ete November
said he tn no way supports an in‘

is very probable the increase will

Clinton: Lifting of ban
requires conduct code

 

By Donna Cassata
Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President
Clinton tried to defuse opposition to
lifting the ban on homosexuals in
the military yesterday. pledging on
the eve of his proposal that a strict
code governing sexual conduct
would accompany any policy
change. Republicans readied for a
fight just the same.

Clinton focused on fellow Demo-

crats, telephoning Sen. Sam Nunn
and inviting Nunn and other Armed
Services Committee Democrats to
an evening meeting at the White
House.

Nunn, probably the most influen-
tial senator on military matters, rc-
cited a litany of reasons for keeping
the ban in a Senate floor speech.
However, in a switch of tone from
earlier criticism of Clinton‘s han-
dling of the issue, he also said, “It's
in everyone‘s interest to see if we

be accepted at the Feb. 8 meeting
of the council. to be held on the
campus of Kentucky State Univer-
sity.

November said a number of op-
tions have been suggested to the
council in case the increase is
passed.

“We're cotriing tip with other op-
tiotts to ltelp students, just lll case
(the increase) passes. We suggest
that a cap be ptit on the increase,
that scholarships atid financial aid
be atljmted and that the ttiottey be
tised for the students."

College degree doesn’t guarantee good job

 

By Tim Bovee
Associated Press

WASHINGTON — That college
diploma hanging on the wall Is‘
worth 81,039 a month in extra pay.

At that rate, it takes the four-year
graduate just a little under two
years to make up the cost —— not
counting the pay and experience he
would have earned working rather
than studying.

On average, people with bache—
lor‘s degrees earn $2,116 a month,
a Census Bureau study said yester-
day. High~school graduates earn
SI .077 a tnonth.

Ttiitioti, books, room and board
for four years at a public university

averaged $9,880 in I990, a survey
by the College Board lottttd. The
cost of education has since risen to
more than $23,000 for the four
years.

LA prepares

By Linda Deutsch
Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — The Rodney
King beating returns to the fore-
front next week as four white police
officers face federal civil rights
charges in a case likely to test the
mettle of the jusuce system and the
nerves of the city.

Dominating the proceeding is the
memory of the officers‘ acquittal on
most charges in last spring‘s state
trial, triggering three days of deadly
riots.

The city says it‘s preparing for
the worst.

Legal experts say that back-
ground is sure to complicate the
federal trial and selection of an im-
partial jury.

“I don‘t think there's any process
in the legal system that can erase
the memory of what went before,"
said Loyola University law profes-
sor Sam Pillsbury. “It is going to
have an impact on the case.“

y UK jazz musician
taking to the streets

 

Dave Lavender
Arts Editor

If the mountain won't come to
Mohammed, then Mohammed must
go to the mountain.

It is upon this ancient philosophy
that L’K music education senior
Keith McCutchen takes jazz to the
streets of downtown Lexington.

For the fourth year. jazz music —
rarely heard and a seldom scene in
Lexington — will be showcased in
the Radisson Plaza Hotel tonight at

 

 

 

tional prominence, as well as to
continue shining the light on local
artists.

“We approached WCKU about
continuing to coordinate this event
and make it a three-time-a-year
thing. The intention (is), as we build
up the proceeds, we actually make a

9pm. -- .
Put together by Diverse Enter- profit on anevent and make it
tainment, a company started by biggernexttime.

McCutchen and his wife Linda, the
annual downtown celebration of lo-
cal jazz musicians has come a long
way since its inception in the late
19803. when there was only one
sponsor for the event.

“The different locations down-
town and trying to make it accessi-
ble by using regional and local art-
ists is just a way to expose people
to the music and a nice evening

at" McCutchen said. “People get
jazz around here. but it’s usually in
a club or big groups come in and
it's in a university setting."

in the beginning, McCutchen.
who is performing tonight with llut-
ist Cheryl Skinner. had a hard time
drumming up support for his e\ent.

"We hope to have a national act
by the next one we do outdoors over
the summer or by next fall. That‘s
not to conflict with any pre-existing
events, but I don‘t think that Lex-
ington is so overbooked With things
to do that there couldn‘t be some-
thing else."

With Skinner, McCuichen will be
unveiling some of the duct music
for which he won a $1,500 grant
from the Kentucky Arts Council.
The council receives National En-
dowment for the Arts money from
the government to promote compos-
ers and artists in the state of Ken-

Statt Critic

Looking for some music you can
dance to?

You‘ve got a lot of options these
days. You could try the technos,
who hide behind walls of comput-
ers, spinning viciously mechanical
beats that have all the warmth of a
vengeful ex-girlfriend. They’ll get
you jumping.

You could try rap music, where
the unrelenting bass threatens to
pulverize your body at any mo-
ment. You could check out the
slick, skillfully calculated. fluff pop
that Paula Abdul & Company spit
out every now and then.

Or you could try the Fleshtones.

Bereft of samples, instant pop
classics written by designated hit-
makers or mounds of electronic
equipment, The Fleshtones simply

Contributing Critic

 

“L'scd People" ollcrs a hilarious-
ly funny and often moving glimpse
of two Queens, N.Y., families in
1969.

The allAstar cast, led by Shirley
MacLaine, accents this movie to
perfection by offering a delivery
and performance that is unmatched.

The plot revolves around a Jew-
ish family -_ namely Pearl Burman
(Shirley MacLaine), whose hus-
band has just died and whose two
daughters, Bibby (Kathy Bates) and
Norma (Marcis Gay Harden), are
somewhat less than stable.

Bibby and her two children had
been forced to move in with her
mother after a divorce. She desper—
ately wants to seek a life of her
own, away frorn the long suffering
and cruel insults of her mother.

 

take your basic guitar-bass‘drums
axis, sprinkle it with sotne rousing
horns and manage to have just as

much fun as Erasure or House of

Pain.

The band's new album, Power-
.rtamrrr, is a set of wonderfully un-
polished garage-rock tunes with a
sense of humor. Give ’em a 94 —
they’ve got a good beat, and you
certainly can dance to them.

The best song on this album is
“Living Legends," which absolute-
ly swings. Vocalist Peter Zaremba
overflows with energy, and the in-
fectious, lurching tempo could con-
vince even the most squeamish
nerd to lift his butt off the gymna-
sium bleachers and join the party.

At her husband's chiva, Pearl is
approached by a strange Italian,
Joe (Marcello h’lastroianni), who
has plans to disrupt and change her
stable, yet mundane, life,

Joe had known her husband and
had been in love with Pearl for 23
years. With the death of Pearl‘s
husband, Joe feels the time has ft-
nally come when he can approach

  
 

stomps run that way. After all, how
are you supposed to have any fun if
you‘re wrestling with Nietzschean
questions while you’re trying to
move?

The playing on Powerslunce is
very loose. Guitarist Keith Streng
owns a fairly decent vocabulary of
chops and even manages to latch
onto a really neat hook once in a
while. He doesn't have a distinctive,
instantly recognizable sound like his
collaborator in the Full Time Men.
REM‘s Peter Buck, nor the raw fury
of Kurt Cobain or Johnny Ramone,
but he gets the job done admirably.

Zaremba adds some boisterous
harmonica, and drummer Bill Mil-
hizer occasionally pulls off some se-
quences worth picking up a couple
pencils and tapping on a chair. It
isn‘t too smooth. but that's precisely
why the album works so well.

The secret strength of this band is
its potent horn section. “Living Leg-
ends." “Mod Teepee" and “irresisti-
ble" just wouldn’t work without Ste~
ven Greenfield’s effectively

her and embarks an a relentless pur-
surt to win Pearl‘s affection.

Through Joe's pursuits, the two
families form a strained and some-
what awkward connection, partly
beeause one is Catholic and the oth-
er ts Jewrsh.

Shirley MacLaine's character.
Pearl, has lived one life as a married
woman raising a family and now is
embarking on another. Her two
daughters have been married and di~
vorced and are having to deal with
their own mistakes and inner tor-
ments.

Pearl's mother (Jessica Tandy) is
a woman who has lived many years
and experienced many things and
now is faced with the fact that her
life is coming closer and closer to
its end.

The beauty of “Used People." is
that it presents life’s obstacles and
new beginnings in a most humorous
way. One laugh follows another in
this story about accepting what has
passed and starting over.

“Used People," rated “PG-13,"
is showing at South Park and Man
0' War cinemas.

Six weeks after the Super Bowl.
the sniping and shooting from the

made the NCAA toumament and
which didn't.

The Southeastern Conference has three

while either Florida or Louisiana State could be

the fourth.

There are still lots of gatnes to
play and it‘s not too early or late
for a team to play its way Ill or out

Now with no scientific backing

eye for obvious talent, here‘s how
the multi-bid conferences should

New Orleans on April 3.

First, we have to dispense with
the one-horse leagues. This season
it looks like 19 of the 30 conferenc-

trant in the grid. There could be
surprises but recent history says it's
unlikely.

Two conferences don‘t receive

-Two-timers: The Metro should
get Tulane and Louisville; the
Southwest has Houston as a virtual
lock with a second team coming
from the BaylorvRice—Southem
Methodist group since Texas is
having a rough year: the Western
Athletic Conference will get two
out of the group of Brigham
